Mac OS X on Pentium III Acer Aspire 1200 Laptop

UPDATE 2: The AcerBook Pro 2.0 has been released! Here is a video of it: www.youtube.com This new revision brings many advances in performance and is fully compatible with Mac OS X Leopard. It also sports a completely new and even more sexy look! AcerBook Pro 2.0 has been updated to Snow Leopard: www.youtube.com UPDATE: This laptop has just been upgraded with a 1.2GHz Pentium III processor, 384MB RAM, and a new 80GB hard drive. No noticeable increase in Mac OS X performance has been detected. (And, I kinda busted the heatsink while installing the new CPU so this thing now overheats like CRAZY!!!) Introducing the new Apple AcerBook Pro! Here is Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger running on a 7-year-old Acer Aspire 1200, and it was the slowest thing EVER. The laptop has the following specs: Processor: Intel Pentium III 1GHz Memory: 256MB PC133 Hard Drive: 20GB 4200RPM (almost dead) Video: S3 Graphics Twister 8MB Optical Drive: 8x DVD-ROM Networking: Accton 10/100 Ethernet, Atheros 802.11b/g Wireless, 56k Modem Battery: Lithium Ion, 2hr Life If anyone knows how to speed this thing up, please tell me. When I called AppleCare about this issue, their response was: “So…uh…how are you running OS X on your Acer Aspire sir??!? Sir, now…now you know that you have called AppleCare, right??” Warning: This will probably be the most boring video you have ever seen. It is very long and boring, so please just enjoy my funny annotations
(at least, I think they are funny; correct me if I am wrong …

I love visiting other peoples hackintosh videos…the music fits the whole mood of this video.. plus the stuff you had coming up on the screen like “pentium III = snail” had me laughing. Im heading over to your other videos…
Think Linux.
@swagbucks86 No, it says AcerBook Pro…
did u put a macbook pro sticker on ur laptop
i have a Dell Ins1525book (with leopard). I am working on my dell iDimension1800rmac (with tiger)
@144key Vista is definitely faster than Mac OS X. Windows 7 runs pretty well actually…
an how about running vista on your acerbookpro ?
so will that worrk on a old tower like 2004 or 5 kinda 1s?
u know all new intel are baste off of the p3 right
pentium was rubbish compared to g3 processors :/ but now intel would toast apple
@blainyrules Here’s how you speed it up: You build an i7 hackintosh for less than a 1000 dollars.
That’s an PowerAcer P3
heres how you speed it up: GET A MAC
Im trying to put 10.4.6 on my P3 Dell Optiplex. Wish me luck!
P.S Great music!
wow that is slow I have OS X Tiger on mid 2000′s Desktop and it takes like 40 sec
Download over 300 video and audio editing tools from one SINGLE ftp for free. Just google for Aries-Films and see how many great video plugins, sound effects and programs out there
how you do that??? please tell me (mp)
nice work
@murfreebear FUNNY!!! I’d like to see a mac pro beat my beast, 4.1GHz Core i7, 12GB RAM, and dual GTX 280′s are quite powerful.
also a SSD as a boot drive and 4 1 TB drives in RAID really speeds things up.
@TheAnimeLover569 A mac don’t cost 15,000. Real Macs will blow peecee shit away any day.
@murfreebear heh,, my hackintosh boots in less than 10 seconds (not counting BIOS, with that it’s around 12-20 secs) and runs better than any mac you could buy. Also instead of paying 15000 dollars for it, I spent 2300 and pwned the Mac Pro
My P4 tower boots osx in less than 30 seconds…
nice video! music was perfect.
man your video stink
